My son is allergic to peanuts and even the oil on his skin from our fingers makes him break out so no peanut anything in this house. I also did not use the bean sprouts. Instead I sliced up some scallion and some chinese sausage. I browned the sausage and added it in after everthing was cooked and mixed. After blending the tamarind paste and the boiling water, put through a sieve so that any little pits from the tamarind are removed. I, then, placed it in the food processor and added the other ingredients. Pureed it and then put it back in the big bowl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nutr.
